Magnolia Electric Co. - The Handing Down lyrics

The handing down, the handing down Maybe the truth will not be shown And the dark will just roll on and on. Roll O three rivers where's that star you once Held above my faded dreams Heart worn more than some I guess But I'm still holding at the seams Still holding at the seams. Scarecrow holds an hourgla** Above the cross roads for me Filled with tears and twilight From a friend's dying day Here's a turkey feather for his favourite hat And a love letter from the ace of spades A love letter from the ace of spades An anchor in the crown Of Queen Anne's lace and chicory A charm, a charm to drive away All the heartaches I gave All the goodbyes and the 'I love you's I said but not in time But mine is the heart of lonesome pine And the choices weren't always mine The choices weren't always mine
